Tamatanga Restaurants Install Iconic Teal Air Curtains.

Tamatanga is an independent Asian restaurant chain that was established in 2007 and has since been well known for its vibrant atmosphere and fresh, homemade Indian food. The restaurants offer a relaxed, laid-back dining experience with a focus on quality ingredients and authentic flavours.
The Overview
Tamatanga’s busy Leeds restaurant was looking for a way to maintain customer comfort during peak hours without compromising its distinctive interior design. Luckily Thermoscreens were on hand to provide the perfect solution with a compact C Series air curtain, custom colour-matched to the restaurant’s iconic teal branding.
The Challenge
The restaurant needed an effective way to maintain indoor comfort, particularly during busy rush periods when the door was frequently opened, allowing cold drafts to enter. However, any solution had to seamlessly blend with the restaurant’s stylish aesthetic and avoid obstructing natural light from the window above the entrance.
The Solution
Thermoscreens installed a compact, electrically heated C Series air curtain above the restaurant’s entrance. The unit’s slimline design meant it fit neatly above the doorway without blocking natural light, keeping the restaurant a bright and welcoming dining environment.
A key feature for this project was Thermoscreens’ exact custom colour match capability, which allowed the air curtain to be finished in the Tamatanga’s signature teal. This ensured consistent brand presentation and avoided clunky visual disruption to the carefully curated interior.
Since the Leeds restaurant installation, Tamatanga have also introduced this bespoke solution to two other locations of theirs in Nottingham and Leicester.
